Curtains, drapes, etc. – are one of the hardest things for me in decorating my house! It shouldn’t be, but for some reason, it is! For a couple reasons: I am very indecisive, store-bought curtains are expensive, and fabric can be expensive too!

But when I finally decide and finally find something affordable, I LOVE them!

These are the curtains that I have in my living room.

I wanted to add a pop of red in my living room, couldn’t find any material I liked, but I did find some curtain panels at Target that I loved. BUT, they were $29.99 a panel and I needed FOUR . NOT in the budget at all!

I even bought one and brought it home “just to see if it worked” and of course I loved it, but they were a little too wide/had too much material.

When I returned the panel back to the store, I checked the curtains again and they were marked down to $14.98 a panel – woohoo! Gotta love Target clearance! And I figured out that I could take 1 panel and cut it in half longwise making one panel into TWO panels! So I bought 2 panels for $30 total, split them into FOUR panels, and I love them! And $30 for 4 panels – very budget friendly!

Here are the curtains in my eat-in kitchen.

Crushed voile sheers bought at Kohl’s with a 30% coupon for $6.29 each/ $25.16 for all four. Once again, in my budget! I can pin them to the side like the above picture, or have them hanging in the middle of the window like this…

(sorry for the awful picture! this was taken about 4 years ago and boy am I glad I don’t take pictures like that anymore!)

I am being drawn more and more to bold colors and patterns for curtains – love these! Of course they are from 6th Street Designs who is an Interior Designer, so what is not to love! :) (Want some inspiration – head over and check out her house tour page.)

I need tension rods in two lengths. 96″ space and 76″ space. Curtains for female teen’s room should be full and cover 48″ length. I could sew a strip of contrasting colored fabric within a shorter panel. She mentioned lime or chartreuse and blue.
Any idea where I can order these?
